Great place if you’re visiting the Berkeley area or Cal in general. In walking distance of everything Cal related with great local spots everywhere. It’s a very old hotel and they have leaned into that, so if you want somewhere modern this isn’t for you, but if you want a piece of Berkeley history I highly recommend.

A nice little hotel with a quirky vibe. Room was small but bed was very comfy. Updating little things like towel racks will go a long way. Loved that it was very walkable to The Greek where we watched a concert. Eric at the front desk was fabulous. Enjoyed our stay!
